    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

A Fun Contest with Many Thanks

And, another feature (video!) gets some press.  WordPress is just kickin’ tush with their features and support!  They’re having a contest to find the best 30 second video about giving thanks and what brings you joy.  Pretty cool, if you ask me. Here’s there video about the contest.  I think this video is pretty cool [...]

New Feature: Email Subscriptions!

WordPress has added a great new feature: Email Subscriptions! Over the next few days, I’ll be rolling this out onto the various blogs I administer. (UPDATE: You’ll find it in the left navigation column here on this particular blog.) It’s a great way for readers to follow along and manage their own subscription.  What a [...]

What are you doing with your life puzzle?

Barry Atkinson is spending time and energy on one of his passions.  I’m helping him with his blog and getting that puzzle piece situated.  Mostly, I’m watching the picture take shape!  It will be fun to watch this story unfold.  See ScoreboardEh.com for some hockey cards from Candada, eh! P.S. awesome ways to start 004

getSTEM

Here’s a nice article about getSTEM, a project that my employer and a number of my coworkers are supporting.  There is talk of this having a much broader reach.  I think the whole concept is really exciting, to bring together needs with resources that can help.  I’m also pretty proud of my teammates who do a [...]

The Common Craft Show

I’d like to praise Common Craft. They have a show called The Common Craft Show that explains things in very simple and clear ways. They call it plain English. The things that they explain are frequently things that I get asked to explain, things that often end up with me labeled as a geek… They [...]

Apple is evil.  –>  Apple rocks!  I love my MacBook Air.  I love my iPhone.  Good customer service goes a LONG way!  Great customer service breads loyalty. Anthony Bourdain is stupid.  –>  Anthony Bourdain rules!  No Reservations kicks butt.  Kitchen Confidential sparked all sorts of creativity.  Writing and reading things that stretch my horizons is [...]

AMEN!!!

If Job Applicants Designed Selection Procedures The application form would be easily completed within a short period of time. The job requirements would ask for what is truly required to do the job. No one would be invited to interview for a job that is already filled. Applicants would receive an acknowledgement notice once their [...]

blogger awesomeness

This is cool. WordPress.com keeps getting better. Now they save 5 previous drafts of published posts, in case you want to go back. When I switched to WordPress in July of 2006, I did it because they were innovating and I had some faith that they’d keep doing so. It may have been a little [...]

Quick Thoughts: back on a PC

After about a month being on vacation and traveling and using my new MacBook Air laptop, almost 100% of that time, I am now back on a Windows Vista PC desktop. I thought I’d note a few quick thoughts. Everything I’ve tried to do on the PC is slower than it is on a Mac. [...]

Deciding to be happy is vital.

Once again, from some communications this morning, I’m happy to learn of situations in my life, and in the lives of other people, where deciding to be happy is vital. I wrote a little bit about it with my “tethering molasses” post. (Read past the first couple paragraphs to see what that post is really [...]
